I see no videos only hear the voice
Hi Felipe,
The video appears to be playing normally. What browser are you using?
Hello, would you be able to make the photo references from ALL modules, not just this one ( if there are any for the module) available to download? I can then view them in higher resolution and larger format. thanks
Hi Wayne,
You can download the photo reference by clicking on the “Photo Reference” link in the description box under the video.
Hello, great video! – a question regarding the light reference drawing you did prior to your underpainting. When you are applying your greyscale background over the reference lines it looks like you are completely covering over / eliminating those lines – (at least i couldn’t see any lines showing through on the video). Do you want to have a trace of those lines peeking through the paint so that you can use them as a reference point? It would seem like quite a lot of work to be covered over on the first paint application. Thanks!
Hi Skee,
Since the light drawing is done to capture the overall contours, it’s ok to go over them with the underpainting. The underpainting then serves as the framework for the rest of the painting and the light lines are no longer needed.
I can’t tell you how helpful this course has been, but this lesson in particular. It’s like you showed me everything I’ve ever done wrong in painting inside of 30 minutes! haha. Amazing. Thank you!
